Walking on the road, Cheyenne felt a little incomprehensible to the river.

Originally, he just thought that Jiang Liu was just a good city lord with a kind heart and respect for his retainers, but whether it was talking to the owner of the rice shop about the future situation, or those two wonderful short sentences, it showed that Jiang Liu's chest had splendid mountains and rivers, and it was by no means a middle-aged person on his face.

Especially the sentence "Do you remember what happened to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang back then?" "The most powerful, this is not something that ordinary people dare to say.

"Ziping, what are you thinking?"

Cheyenne put away her complicated thoughts and replied, "I'm thinking about where to sell it." ”

"Any thoughts?"

"I know that there are newly moved families in Zhongwu County, and the family does not have many fields, and the demand for food is high, so I can start here."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, it doesn't matter if it's cheaper, as long as the silverware is settled, this is the bottom line, understand?"

"Understood."

"But it can't be too cheap, one of them, you sell some first, I'll take a look."

"Yes."

This is the second thing that Xia An has done as the head of Jiang Zuocheng, and he will not allow himself to fail again.

The strength of the grain did not disappoint Cheyenne, and after simple negotiations, he successfully sold 40 stone of grain and harvested 8 catties of silver, that is, 80 taels.

It is estimated that all the silver rivers can harvest a total of up to 700 taels of silver.

It's a pity that the future is very good, but the road is still very long, and there are no other families in Zhongwu County to sell.

If you want to get more silver, you can only choose to go to other counties, or even to Lingling County, to completely digest it.

After all, Lingling County in this era is a "wild land" compared to the Central Plains, and there are still too few families with real strength.

At night, after discussing the next stop, Cheyenne and the others went back to their rooms to rest.

Because Koharuko wants to protect the river, he added a bed to the river's room, which is naturally the river's preferential treatment, and Koharuko's original intention was to close his eyes on the stool and recuperate.

"Jiangzuo City Map."

With the appearance of the three-dimensional diagram of the light curtain, seeing the general situation of Jiangzuo City, Jiang Liu was startled, and there were secret red dots around Jiangzuo City.

Jiang Liu hurriedly communicated with Jiang Dongxian and said, "Dongxian, Jiang Dongxian has a foreign invasion?" If you have it, go to the inner city, and if you don't, go to the outer city. ”

As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties, although this kind of remote communication is a single line, but Jiang Liu still thought of a way to get feedback.

When Jiang Dongxian heard the instructions, he stood still and didn't know where to go for a while.

"What's wrong? Let's go! ”

Hearing Jiang Liu's urging, Jiang Dongxian finally made a decision and walked to the inner city.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Liu was in a hurry, and he could not afford to make any mistakes in his family business.

If the city is captured, will he still be the lord of the city?

If it weren't for the city lord, would the city lord system, which hardly cares about him, be unbound and disappear?

If the system disappears, will the population of Jiangzuo City still grow? Will you be absolutely loyal to him if you grow?

Now is not the time for Mulong to pretend to be domineering in front of him, he has no choice but to passively accept it; Now he has a lot of options.

There are more choices and more considerations, but it is not as pure as no choice, and the thoughts are complicated and the emotions are anxious.

But it's useless to be anxious, it's getting late now, everyone is tired, and the efficiency of rushing overnight is not high and you can't go fast.

Let Haruko go back to the city first to support? As soon as this idea appeared, it was extinguished by the river.

After experiencing the attack of the wooden tiger, he deeply realized the danger of this world, the most precious thing in this world is not Jiangzuocheng, but his own life, everything is premised on his own safety.

After confirming some things with Jiang Dongxian, Jiang Liu slowly calmed down.

At present, Jiangzuocheng is still very safe, and there is no way for foreign hostility to Jiangzuocheng.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Jiang Liu asked Jiang Yunchang to call everyone up.

As soon as Jiang Liu said that he packed up his things and hurried back to the city, everyone was a little strange, after all, he just said that he was going to Yingpu County yesterday.

But after all, it was a group of farmers with the highest loyalty, and after the strangeness, there was no discussion, so he hurriedly packed up his things and soon walked towards Jiangzuo City.

On the way, Xia An was curious: "City Lord, is there something happening in Jiangzuo City?" ”

"Yes, but it's not serious."

"Since it's not serious, why don't you let some people stay and go to Yingpu County to sell grain as originally planned?"

Jiang Liu has also considered this problem, and in his heart, the only group of people in this group of people who can really come in handy when foreign enemies invade is Xiao Chunzi, and even he himself is a soy sauce player.

As long as he and Koharuko go back, it is undoubtedly a very correct and feasible choice for others to continue to sell grain.

But if such a decision is made, a question will be placed in front of Jiang Liu, who will be the leader of this group of people?

Jiang Yunchang? Competence is not enough.

Cheyenne? Loyalty is not enough.

After consideration, Jiang Liu finally decided to return to the city and solve the problem of Jiangzuo City before setting off to sell grain.

When Jiang Liu returned to Jiangzuo City, he realized that it was a false alarm.

It turned out that the red dots outside were all displaced people from Guanyang County, Cangwu County, Jiaozhou (Note (1)).

Guanyang County is a rare plain and hilly county in Cangwu County, with vast arable land and fertile soil, and its grain output ranks first among all the counties in Jiaozhou.

It is a pity that the high grain output has not provided the peasants in Guanyang County with a richer life than the peasants in ordinary counties, but the living standard is still inferior.

Because most of the grain was concentrated in the hands of the families and landlords.

Due to the large amount of arable land, the forest area is less, and other counties can go up to the mountains to hunt, and the behavior of picking wild fruits and vegetables to satisfy hunger is rare in Guanyang County.

More arable land also means more water for irrigation, which is more affected by changes in water conditions.

In addition, there are many plains, flat terrain, slow water flow, and many long rivers, not only the water flow evaporates more, but also the possibility of upstream interception is also greater.

As a result of various circumstances, Guanyang County's ability to resist this drought that is rare in a century is particularly weak.

The drought is just a symptom, and people in many villages are unable to survive the spring planting period.

In addition, it is located in Jiaozhou, far away from the political center of the Han Dynasty for a long time, the ignorant are fearless, small-scale looting continues, and even bandits rush into the county to rob, and the people are struggling to make a living.

In this way, many refugees crossed the county border and came to Jiangzuo City, which is located on the border, to seek help from the "imperial court".

The number of people has reached more than 400 people, and as time goes by, it has become less and less.

From time to time, there was a knock outside the city gate, hoping to enter the city.
